This original Baltimore-themed art was commissioned by Sinai Hospital for the ceiling of their Radiation Oncology department. I included my favorite Baltimore iconic sights and symbols...even in the clouds!

30 years ago, Fleer created a 660 baseball card set for the 1989 season, but card #616 slipped past quality control and ended up being shipped inside packs around the world. Billy Ripken, brother of Baltimore legend Cal Ripken Jr., posed for his photo holding a bat with the words "Fuck Face" on the knob, and nobody caught it. Once people found out, it become like a Wonka ticket, turning a $.05 card into a $50 one.
Distressed for a nostalgic retro look.

A little hometown pride for our lovely state of Maryland. You can take the girl out of Maryland, but you can't take Maryland outta the girl...or guy. Or whoever. It never lets you go. But we're not complaining.

This was an illustration for my dad's birthday card last year - that turned out to be his last birthday. The anniversary of the worst day in my life is coming up in a few weeks, and I thought it would be nice to let this bird take flight on a t-shirt, even if I'm the only one that ever wears it. Love you Dad!
